The new campus is the first stage of a permanent campus at Port Macquarie. The 5700sqm development was built around a courtyard encompassing a Learning Commons, an Indigenous Student Centre, teaching and research facilities, outdoor learning spaces, office accommodation and car parking. Major civil works were part of this contract. Site works included allowances for future expansion of the site. This building has set a high standard of construction for the next stages of the university. Multiple finishes have been incorporated into this design and they have been carefully detailed and executed. Exposed services are a feature here and they have been fitted and managed with nominal ceilings.  This building has increased the university’s commitment to regional higher education with this project.
